Over the weekend the film will not only cross the much-desirable Rs 100 crore mark, it will go past Rs 120 flag. It would be pertinent to note that Kabali enjoyed 90 per cent occupancy in Tamil and Telugu belts, where as the rest of India the figures are close to 50 per cent mark. Normally, the dubbed versions of Rajini don’t enjoy as fabulous a response as the originals do. But this weekend the Hindi audiences have only one cinematic choice in the form of Irrfan Khan starrer Madaari. Those who like masal endeavour naturally opt for Kabali.
